LED's - Nooj has a lot ot answer for
Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 4:23 am
I've been toying with the idea of knocking out a LED light for over a year now, probably longer.
As I say it's all Nooj's fault, but I've been galvanised into action more recently by Timson (damn you) who has gone the superflux route that I was dabbling with. I've got all the bits rattling about in a box and now's the time.
So Here's how far I've got.
This is ordinary stripboard with the tracks running horizontally.
Red=brakes, light red=tail, orange = indicators, Green=jumpers, Black= track cuts.
If you see any errors in the circuits please tell me. (doing the electronic flasher with diode dash fix to avoid a big resistor for the indicators)
Knocked up the layout on excel then scanned the stripboard cut out and joined them together in Powerpoint.
Took a while to get the layout of the indicator side sorted to minimise jumpers and track cuts.
Not actually got down to doing any soldering yet, but hey what's the rush.
To be continued.
